Dr Peter Griggs gives a colourful and interesting insight to tea in Australian society

Dr Peter Griggs is a human geographer with an interest in agricultural and environmental history. His book on the history of sugar cane production in Australia gave an insight to the good, the bad and ugly of one of the country's oldest and largest agricultural export industries. Now, he's created a stir by telling far north Queenslanders they were not the first to grow tea commercially in Australia.
